Kendall is a 26-year-old set dresser from Los Angeles, CA, who will be competing for Arie's heart when Season 22 premieres Monday, January 1 at 8PM ET/PT on ABC.

When Kendall is first introduced to the 36-year-old pro racing driver turned real estate agent, Chris toldPeople that Arie finds her "quirky and cute."

And Arie will apparently be captivated by Kendall's personality and unique qualities as he gets to know her more. Based on Chris' description of the bachelorette, it's likely she will survive the season's first Rose Ceremony during which Arie must eliminate eight women.

"She has a thing for taxidermy and she plays the ukulele," Chris shared.

"But she's highly intellectual, especially when it comes to love. She's a bit of an underdog."

Kendall graduated from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco in 2014 with a degree in Broadcast Journalism.

She works as a set dresser for Not Safe with Nikki Glaser at Comedy Central and also previously designed sets for the Keeping Up with the Kardashians' 10-year anniversary special as well as MTV's Ridiculousness.

Kendall will be one of 29 beautiful and accomplished bachelorettes Arie is afforded the chance to meet when The Bachelor returns.

"The women blew Arie away on night one," Chris revealed to People of Arie's impressive roster of ladies.

"And Arie is a little older and confident. He doesn't mind not always acting cool or having to say and do the right things. He gets these women and it makes them fall very fast for him!"

ABC has disclosed The Bachelor will be "filled with passionate highs and heartwrenching lows" next year, and Arie told Reality TV World earlier this month that he did, in fact, find love -- with two women!
